Question

Is it possible to change Default Title Page for PDF docs?

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to customize PDF docs generated from RoboHelp 11.

There is a section named <Default Title Page> that you can add or remove when generating a PDF doc. Is it possible to edit this section in any way? I've been looking for an option to do it, but I haven't found anything.

We want to create a custom title page for our PDF docs. The only info I've found on this topic is here: RoboHelp: Customize the title page for printed documentation (Word and PDF output) « Technical Communication Suite

The tutorial instructs to remove the <Default Title Page> section and insert a topic file or a Word doc with the custom title page. I think it would be more convenient if you could change the this Default Title Page section.

Thanks.

I've talked to the support guys. I was told that this default title page cannot be changed in terms of contents. Another thing that drives me crazy in this app.

Hi there

The journey of RoboHelp topics to PDF involves first being generated as a Microsoft Word document.

If you really want a different title page, I might think you could approach it like this.

Using Microsoft Word, create a Word document that is the title page you really want. Then when you edit the Single Source Layout recipe for your printed document, add your new title page and delete the default title page. Seems to work for me.

Cheers... Rick

Oops.. my bad. Just read your bit about already knowing you can do what I suggested. I suppose I'll be asinine here and ask the obvious question.

Why is it you dislike creating your own title page? Seems pretty simple to me if you dislike what RoboHelp supplies.

Cheers... Rick
